This invention relates to saw sets.

The object of the invention is to provide.

. in the appended claims.

In describing the invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts in the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of the saw set and its support;

Fig. 2, a plan view of the tached;

Fig. 3, a longitudinal section of the saw set;

Fig. 4:, a section on the line 14: of Fig. 2

Fig. 5, an end view of the saw set. and

Fig. 6, a section on the line 66 of Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawing the improved saw set is shown as comprising a base 10 having lateral securing ears 11 whereby the saw set may be mounted on a suitable support A. Rising from one endof the base 10 are cars 12, while ears 18 rise from the base 10 intermediate the ends of the latter. The invention further embodies a gage arm 14: one end of which is bifurcated and has its furcations disposed in embracing relation and secured to the cars 12 and 13. Wounted saw set dein this arm is a gage screw 15 while another Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 99,813.

gage screw 16 is mounted in the base 10. Pivoted between the cars 12 and movable between the ears 13 is a setting arm 16 the free end of which is suitably shaped to effect the necessary setting of the saw teeth. Embedded in the base 10 directly beneath the free end of the arm 16 is a plate 17 of hardened steel and forming an anvil upon which the free end of the arm 16 is adapted to operate. The arm 16 is normally held in inactive position by means of a spring 18 interposed between same and the base 10. Pivoted between the ears 13 is a cam lever 19 which cooperates with the upper edge of the arm 16 and has its free end connected by a link 20 to a foot treadle 21 mounted on the support A. Disposed upon the base 10 is a gage plate 29.. This plate is provided with a recess 23 and embraces the-base 10. The plate is adapted to be adjusted toward and away from the ears 13 and will determine the length of the set as is obvious. This plate 22 is adapted to be supported by adjustable brackets 21 mounted on either side of the base 10.

In operation the saw is placed between the screws 15 and 16 and the latter are adjusted for the proper set. 11 hen the tooth to be set is properly positioned over the plate 17 the treadle 21 is depressed. This operation will pivot the lever 19 and the latter will coact with the arm 16 to force the free end of the latter downwardly and elfect the setting of the tooth. This operation is repeated until the setting of all the teeth is complete.
